The most common Birth Control implants are Nexplanon and Implanon. Nexplanon is a single-rod implant that is placed under the skin of the upper arm and releases the hormone etonogestrel to prevent pregnancy for up to three years. Implanon, which is no longer widely used, was the predecessor to Nexplanon and had similar functionality. Both options provide a long-term, reversible method of contraception.
